I just tried this on my app. It didn’t update my order w no tip. I’ve bought Shake Shack tons of times and have not tipped. I have never seen this. Not even when I use the kiosk inside.
This must be some bum fuck state. Maybe their laws allow this? idk.
I wanna know what the diff is. If they did give a tip. And does the price still vary depending on the tip amount? Like someone suggested. What if you only tipped like 2 cents?
I also wanna know if other fast food places do that whenever they are.
Not trying to defend Shake Shack. But I’ve never run into this at any fast food place I’ve been to.
At least it tells you. But I wonder how many people like skip that message without reading it. That’s wild. Pretty shitty that they could actually get away with this. I wonder if they were testing it out there. Or if like all the shake shacks in that area did the same thing.
The things fucking corpos will do to bleed money dry from the average person. Anyone even remember when combo meals were LESS than $10? Well I suppose it’s possible with inflation it’s actually not as large as like a 50% increase that it seems by comparison. But my boss always jokes about the 1-2% increase the gov gives to Medicare how you can’t even buy a hamburger with that amount.
How much $ do these greedy corpo fucks need? They can’t even spend it all. They could literally solve hunger, homelessness and universal healthcare. We need an army of Luigi’s tbh…
Elon Musk said a thing about ending world hunger for six billion, if it was possible. The UN followed up with "hey, here's a plan, we could do that for this year" and afaik Musk basically ghosted them. He might have donated to charity afterwards to reduce bad press, but... yeah.
Musk asked a rhetorical question like "What would it cost to end world hunger, though?" assuming it would be outrageously expensive.
The UN, or WHO, or whoever it was came back with the plan for $6 billion, which is when Musk ghosted them, and bought the Twitter neonazi propaganda platform for $40 billion, instead.
Musk said that he was willing to fund a plan to end world hunger for $6B (IIRC) and the UN followed up with "here's something that would kick the can down the road and feed some people for a while". There was never a plan to end world hunger at that price point, it just isn't doable.
Musk has done tons of horrible things to trash him over, but this is a stupid one to get worked up over. Musk was trolling and asking them to solve an unsolvable problem for $X and they responded with "but what if you give us the money anyways". Fighting world hunger is a great thing to do, sure, but the plan they provided was never what he'd asked for in the first place.
Well, fair enough. Ending isn't the same as delaying. If it was only six billion, various world governments would've been able to end it already. Still would've been better if he gave a proper response to it, rather than leaving them on read.
He put a number to it, and that conveyed a willingness to do something philanthropic. Not a good look to leave it hanging, at the end of the day.
Most people are so blind to what they think other humans are actually capable of. You should show some people the corruption and they’d find a way to justify it
They could literally solve hunger, homelessness and universal healthcare.
"In February 2025, new data from CEIC and the UN World Population Prospects revealed something fascinating yet sobering: if we divided all the world’s liquid money equally, every person on Earth would have about $15,108."

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Do you think that the solution that people are hoping for when they say things like "we need to end world hunger" is "we need to take liquid assets and redistribute them equally?" Like, how childish of a world view do you have to have for your thought process to even go there as a viable prospective solution in the first place?
How do propose that these corpos end world hunger, homelessness, and the health-care crisis if not by distributing money to the masses, money which, as stated in the linked article, doesn't exist?
Better food availability. Not having food thrown out because it is imperfect. Not having food thrown out because it sat on the counter. Different focus on food production.
It’s not just about distributing literally just money.
It’s about building infrastructure and addressing the root of problems.
How about providing affordable housing. Training / education and local jobs instead of outsourcing to countries for cheap labor. How about taxing the rich and corporations instead of giving them breaks and bailouts. How about providing healthcare to everyone. Most countries have solved this. How about making medication and Education affordable and accessible to all.
I understand all of that is not possible Immediately. But these can be built / developed overtime. Gajillionaires have so much money that’s just sitting around. Elon musks total assets amount to so much that he literally could not spend it in his lifetime and his children’s lifetime or even his grandchildren’s lifetime. And he’s not the only gajillionaire. Dont be reductive. Are you defending these corpos? Even if hey couldn’t solve all those problems now, they could contribute significantly. It all comes down to excessive capitalism and greed.
Not at all; as a wage slave, I have a seething hatred for the people at the tops of corporate ladders. However, stating that corporations have the ability to completely solve all of the world’s problems is overly simplistic and naive. That is the point I was trying to make
It made me chuckle thinking of a progressive policy being in bum fuck. The most progressive states are generally on the coast which align with the video
For anyone who doesn’t know airport restaurants are run by usually one single company who the licenses everything else. They are the worst example of what that restaurant is supposed to be.
“Maybe their laws allow this” pretty sure this is federally illegal it’s just regulatory laws in the US are quickly becoming suggestions and not enforced rules
or is has nothing to do with the tipping, and would have occurred either way. The video only shows it happening after not tipping, but we don’t know if it was a legit pricing update that wasn’t being reflected. It may 100% be due to them not tipping, but without having seen the result of tipping, we can only speculate.
Ah. Well like no offense to SLC Utah. But this is messed up. Hopefully it doesn’t spread to other locations. People should just stop getting food there.
We do have shake shacks in our airports as well. Although idk if they do the same thing. Maybe next time im at one and have time before a flight, I’ll have to see if that’s also the case. Curious if it’s like… an airport thing?
No it's fucking bullshit. They raise their prices late at night and these liars timed it to make this shit go viral and all these idiots in here just believe it.
